Findings include: Review of facility policy Enteral Nutrition last reviewed 9/18/24, indicated adequate nutritional support through enteral nutrition is provided to residents as ordered. The use of enteral nutrition is based on the results of the comprehensive nutritional assessment, and is consistent with current standards of practice, the resident's advance directives, treatment goals and facility policy.

During an interview completed on 4/3/25, at 2:01 p.m. upon asking Registered Dietician (RD) Employee E7 how to determine the current rate of delivery for Resident R281 he replied you would look at the pump further inquiry concerning the physician orders RD Employee E7 stated R281's tube feeding should be set at 40 cc/hr , I have no idea why the order was not changed to show the current running rate, it was supposed to be tapered up and the PEG was new, it should have been spelled out per day starting at 10cc/hr, increasing the next day to 20 cc/hr, then next day 30 cc/hr, until it reached 40 cc/hr. It doesn't look like any way to identify the current rate of the feeding. Upon asking if Resident R281 is also receiving meals per oral intake and if the feeding should be shut off during this time. RD Employee E7 stated she can be off for at least two meals the time allowed would be for four hours, lunch time should be off and confirmed the current orders did not include the parameters for the tube feeding down time to allow for the oral intake. During an interview completed on 4/5/25, at 9:25 a.m. the Director of Nursing (DON) confirmed the tube feeding orders were up not updated to the current run rate.

Review of Resident R34's office visit summary dated [DATE], revealed the resident was referred to see an otolaryngology (ear, nose, and throat, is a medical specialty that focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of conditions affecting the ears, nose, throat, and related structures of the head and neck) provider for a consultation for the resident's tracheostomy status. Resident R34 used a metal [NAME] tracheostomy tube. While a resident at a skilled nursing facility, Resident R34's inner cannula dislodge, and staff were unable to reinsert and the resident was sent to the hospital. Resident R34 was transferred to the hospital and underwent a laparoscopy (a surgical procedure in which a small incision is made through which a viewing tube is inserted) which showed some circumferential mucus making reinsertion challenging. A saline irrigation and suctioning was performed to remove the crusting, and then a new inner cannula was inserted. Resident R34 presented a month later, on [DATE], with the inability to place the inner cannula. The assessment revealed Resident R34's metal [NAME] tracheostomy has progressively gotten obstructed and with a biofilm. Redness was observed around the skin of Resident R34's tracheostomy. Upon examination, Resident R34 had a complete obstruction of the tracheostomy. An inner cannula was unable to placed. The tracheostomy tube was removed and the inside of both the trach and the inner cannula was extensively cleaned. Resident R34's trach was replaced and Resident R34 was observed to be clear and was able to breathe significantly better. Prior to this, Resident R34 had inspiratory stridor (a high-pitched sound that occurs when breathing through a narrow or obstructed airway, indicating difficulty in breathing. It can be a sign of an abnormality in the airway that may require medical attention). The plan was to start antibiotics for low grade tracheostomy infection, diligent trach care, 20 mg famotidine (medication that decreases stomach acid production), one tablet, for reflux symptoms, change 40 mg pantoprazole (use to treat certain stomach and esophagus problems), one tablet, to 30 minutes before dinner, and to follow up in one month.

Residents Affected - Some Findings include: The facility Hemodialysis care policy 9/18/24, indicated that hemodialysis (a treatment for advanced kidney failure that filters wastes, salts, and fluid from your blood) devices may only be accessed by personnel who have received training and demonstrated clinical competency. Review of Resident R20's clinical record revealed, the resident was admitted to the facility on [DATE], with diagnoses of dependence on renal dialysis (acts like an artificial kidney, removes waste and fluid from the body), end stage renal disease (the final stage of chronic kidney disease where the kidney can no longer filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively), and heart failure (a condition where the heart muscle doesn't pump blood as well as it should). Review of Resident R20's care plan 2/5/25, indicated the resident needs dialysis due to renal failure. Interventions included to encourage the resident to go to scheduled dialysis appointments on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Review of Resident R20's physician order dated 2/7/25, indicated the resident is scheduled to have dialysis three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. The facility failed to timely enter Resident R20's order for dialysis. Review of Resident R20's progress note dated 2/8/24, at 7:27 p.m. stated the resident missed dialysis on Thursday and today.

The physician ordered to send the resident out to the hospital for dialysis. Recommendations included to send patient to dialysis on dialysis days. Review of Resident 20's MDS (Minimum Data Set, periodic assessment of resident care needs) dated 2/10/25, indicated diagnoses were current. Review of Resident R20's Emergency Department Evaluation report dated 2/8/25, revealed the resident was presenting to the emergency room due to missed dialysis. The plan was to obtain screening labs, EKG, and assess for any emergent dialysis, and return to the skilled nursing facility and have outpatient dialysis. Review of Resident R20's Hospital Discharge summary dated [DATE], revealed at 9:09 p.m. the resident had a critical venous oxyhaemoglobin level (percentage of hemoglobin that is bound to oxygen) of 21 (Reference range: 70-80). Review of Resident R20's progress note dated 2/9/25, at 5:10 a.m. revealed the resident returned to the facility with no new orders.
